About the Item

This print, part of the esteemed "Svenska Fåglar Efter Naturen Och På Sten Ritade" series, presents the common mallard, Anas platyrhynchos, rendered with exceptional attention to detail. The male mallard, or drake, is shown in profile, boasting its characteristic glossy green head and neck, which contrasts vividly against its white collar and brown chest. The subtle interplay of light and shadow across the plumage reveals the intricate patterns and textures unique to this species, from the delicate grays and browns of the body to the distinct blue speculum edged with white on the wings. The drake stands on a rock, its bright orange-red feet and legs illustrated with careful shading to indicate the contours and musculature. The artist has also captured the mallard's alert posture and lively eye, conveying the bird's vitality and awareness of its surroundings. The background is minimalistic, featuring only a hint of greenery and water, which focuses the viewer's attention on the subject. This simplicity in composition underscores the mallard's adaptability and prevalence across varied habitats. This print, like others in the series, is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as an educational tool, meticulously depicting the mallard in a way that would have been valuable for both ornithologists and the general public. The condition of the print appears to be very good, with the colors remaining vibrant and the paper intact, suggesting that it has been well-preserved over time. This is an original and NOT a reproduction!
